Chapter 8: Network Connectivity and Security
In the previous chapter, we examined the different options when building computer services, from the different types of Virtual Machines (VMs) to web apps and containerization.
All solution components need to be able to communicate effectively and safely; therefore, in this chapter, we will discuss what options we have to control traffic flow using route tables and load balancing components, securing traffic with different firewalling options, and managing IP addressing and resolution.
With this in mind, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding Azure networking options
- Understanding IP addressing and DNS in Azure
- Implementing network security
- Connectivity
- Load balancing and advanced traffic routing
